Frost damage is a very common phenomenon that, despite progression of global warming, is predicted to worsen in the future due to an insufficient cold acclimation achieved by plants. Therefore, novel methods for plant protection applicable to crops and fruits are necessary. Fairy primroses (Primula malacoides) are widely spread in high altitudes and show high natural freezing tolerance. In this study, the specific production of flavone crystals on the leaf surface of P. malacoides is shown to mediate higher resistance to freezing in a dose dependent manner. Artificial removal of flavone compromised this resistance, which could be again complemented by exogenous flavone spray. Furthermore, application of 4 mg/ml flavone in ethanol to the leaves or buds of several trees imposed higher freezing tolerance to these plants that are, normally, unable of flavone production. The results of Mr. Isshiki’s research propose a new efficient method for plant protection with a broad applicability. However, economically effective and ecologically acceptable ways of flavone (or its cheaper alternative) application need to be resolved before practical introduction of this method. In the second part, developed instrumentation and methods were applied to tea plantings with irregular damage caused by below-zero temperatures in Kochi prefecture. Correlative analysis showed that leaves from closely located tea shrubs possess differential freezing tolerance, possibly explaining their differential susceptibility to frost events. From this analysis, young leaves seem to be more sensitive in locations subjected to milder cold acclimation. The necessity of protection of young leaves, for example by flavone application, is directly implicated by this work. Regarding the above research achievements as compiled in applicant’s thesis, Mr. Isshiki completed all requirements necessary for the Doctor course studies. The jury recommendation is to award the degree..
